The problem is that most legacy code (especially firmwares) is C and will never have a chance to be rewritten in another language. If you get a chance into VLSI field you will be amazed that they are still relying on Tcl to do complicated stuffs. Only part of the world's software (most in IT companies) can afford rewriting in a new language regardless of costs/upstreams.
